Vic Power Sent to Angels In 3‐Team, 5‐Player Trade

BLOOMINGTON, MINN, June 11, (AP)—The Minnesota Twins traded two of the fans’ favorites today in a three‐team deal for more bench strength.

The Twins dealt Vic Power, first baseman, and Lenny Green, a little‐used outfielder, in the five‐player trade with Cleveland and Los Angeles. Minnesota ac‐quired infielders Jerry Kindall and Frank Kostro.

It was a straight trade with no cash involved.

In the deal, Powers will go to the Angels, who in turn will send Billy Moran, an infielder, to Cleveland. The Indians will send Kindall to the Twins. Green will go to Los Angeles for Kostro, who is now with Hawaii in the Pacific Coast League.

The Twins’ office said the deal was made to pick up more pinch‐hitting power.

Observers noted the deals did nothing for Twins’ pitching, which has been woeful at times, especially in the relief depart‐ment.
